Pivot ball bracket for a ‘68 Dart

[FlamesAreWicked]

So I completed my 4spd swap in my 68 Dart. I plan on making a post about that separate of this but.. could I make a 20ish mile drive before it gets welded on to the rail? It’s a diaphragm McLoed rated for 400hp so it’s not a super heavy duty clutch.. I just need to transport it from a friends house to my house. Def not ideal but.. I didn’t wanna have to tow it. The buddy who helped me doesn’t now how to weld and neither do I. Once I get it home I can bribe someone to come pit some fire on it..it’s bolted into place

So the support bracket is bolted in place? Like through nut and bolted or something like a large sheet metal screws?

I bolted an entire frame for a pickup truck together and pulled it 30 miles to a friend's house to be welded.

You can do the same thing.

Also you can probably drive the distance with minimal number of clutch engagements.

The pivot ball is bolted to the bracket through the inner fender.. just the bracket needs to be welded to the frame rail

On a side note.. while I’m glad the 4spd swap is done.. I will say this, I won’t do another . It was a learning experience to say the least
